Hello, I'm currently looking into wear of OE tires for Honda Accords. If you have any knowledge of the stock tires that come with a Honda Accord, please take the survey below. The survey is only 2 questions and will take less than a minute of your time:

Survey Monkey Link

The tires under consideration are:

Hankook Kinergy GT H436 - 225/50R17
Michelin Energy Saver A/S - 225/50R17
Goodyear Eagle Touring - 235/40R19
Continental ContiProContact - 235/40R19
Michelin Primacy MXM4 - 235/40R19

Thank you for your time. Please feel free to leave any comments in the forum below.

 

What are you trying to achieve from this survey?

 

I'm trying to see if it is worth it to look for a dealer with a specific brand of tires over another. I usually prefer Michelin, but I've noticed Hankooks on a dealer near me. I figured someone here might know more?

 

There's too many sides to the "best tire" questions. Best ride comfort? Best traction in the snow? Best tread life? Best cornering on a dry track? As much as the tire companies advertise, there is NO SUCH THING as a tire that does it all.

I have a co-worker who doesn't like his Accord because he says the ride is too harsh. To me his car is too soft. He and I would never pick the same tire as "the best choice". Neither one of us is right or wrong...

 

The problem with asking about tires is different makes and models are "the absolute best" depending upon one's point of view; a grippy summer tire with only 15,000 miles of tread life will be the best for some, high mileage/low traction tires may be the best for others; for the rest of us, somewhere in the middle is the best. Regarding brand, this can be rather irrelevant; while Michelin generally makes good tires, they make some crap ones as well; same thing for Pirelli, Bridgestone, Continental, and Hankook.

In lieu of a survey here where you're only likely to get a handful of responses, go to TireRack (or one of the other major online tire vendors) and read the reviews and test reports for the tires in your size; this will arm you with WAY more useful knowledge than what you'll be able to glean from this thread.
